The Sláintecare implementation strategy emphasises the increased provision of care in the community. Through a parliamentary question I was recently informed by the assistant head of primary care for south east community healthcare that there are no dedicated neuropsychology posts for children or adults in south east community healthcare's area of responsibility. This area includes Carlow, Kilkenny, south Tipperary, Wexford and Waterford and has a population of more than 400,000 people. This is unacceptable. Will the Minister recommend that these posts are created as soon as possible and address the failure of services in the south-east in the upcoming budget?
